We've received some very sad news here at the Coronation Street Blog.
Chris Canavan, the longest serving extra on Coronation Street has passed away. Chris worked as a background artiste on Corrie for 51 years.
Canadian Coronation Street fan Christine Warren who runs the Coronation Street Fun Pages, secured an interview with Chris a few weeks ago and as a tribute, we're linking to the interview on Christine's web site.
As well as the interview, there's a tribute song written and sung by fellow Corrie extra Pete Reidy.
